Iowa 511 is like the holy grail of traffic and traveler info for both regular folks and those big rig drivers. This app, straight from the Iowa Department of Transportation, gives you all the juicy details about what's happening on interstates, U.S. routes, and state highways across Iowa. Just a heads up though, it won't tell you squat about county roads or city streets.

FEATURES:

• As you cruise along, we'll keep you posted on traffic stuff with cool voice updates. No need to look or touch anything, just sit back and enjoy the ride!

• A super cool map that you can zoom in on, with clickable icons for traffic events and nearby camera views.

Get the latest scoop on winter road conditions (even in neighboring states), traffic mishaps, construction zones, truck limitations, and road shutdowns, all updated almost instantly!

Trucker Mode: All the Stuff You Need for Big Rig Drivers!

Hey folks! If you're looking for rest areas while cruising around the state, we got you covered! You can find them all over, including along I-80, and parts of I-29, I-35, I-235, and I-380. And here's the best part - we even provide updates on truck parking availability at these rest areas and some private truck stops in real-time. So, no need to worry about finding a spot to park your rig!

• Weigh Station Locations

• Citizen reports via Waze

Just a heads up: If you keep GPS running in the background, it might drain your device battery faster.

Distracted Driving

The number one job of any driver is to make sure they're operating their vehicle safely. When you're on the road, it's important to only use your phone when you've completely stopped your car away from the main part of the road. Remember, it's illegal to text and drive or use this app while you're driving.
